How would you handle an encounter with the truly unknown?

is this CoK kinds of unknown? because i run away. thats how you dont go crazy.

If you mean, "how would you handle running it in a game," I'd do it by never identifying the unknown. The character experienced it, and the players know that, but we dot know what it was. I would describe to the player they're character's own emotions and reactions, and make every reference to the unknown itself as vague and foggy as the work implies.

It doesnt matter, wizard will end it with 1-2 spells and then the barbarian will make a mask with it skin because Lul zoo randum

As soon as it is observed, it becomes known, at least in part.

To deal with the unknown we must merely observe it until it is entirely known. Then we kill it and sell the corpse for gold.

Then it's blood poisons the planets and almost wipes out humanity.

Next campaign is 1000 years later.

With Known fear.

Known fear? Like what? It turns all the world's armies and WMDs against it's civilians then against armies themselves?

Because warfare seems to be the only worry for the first world.

Curiousity is the only fucking answer.
When the prehistoric man first saw the fire, his first instinct was to stick his hand right into the fucking middle of it.
When Alice saw the White Rabbit go down the Rabbit Hole, she went right after him.
Why should I act different?

I thought she was dreaming?

With DEEPEST LORE.

I'd probably ask Veeky Forums
